Coping With Low Water Pressure
Our home is rigged up to the municipal water supply, so we are really blessed to have adequate water pressure from the inlet. However, we never realy had sufficient pressure inside the house! Not sure why… after opening the walls and inspecting the old copper plumbing, we found a whole lot of pipes going every [...]

Yeah, literally. I helped The Hubs install PEX plumbing yesterday. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Plumbing is exhausting work. That’s why I’ve avoided up to now.

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger. You can check out my other blogs here.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
